About The Tools and Tech

The Tools and Tech helps people make better technology decisions without pretending that every product has been personally tested.

What we cover

We publish practical buying guides, comparisons and research-based assessments covering home technology, business systems, PC building, gaming, workspaces, software, cybersecurity, networking, wearables, smart energy, media, maker technology and emerging platforms.

Who creates the content

Articles are published by The Tools and Tech Team. The publication is independently operated and is not owned by a manufacturer, retailer or affiliate network.

How our guidance is produced

Research-based guides are checked against current manufacturer documentation, platform or regulator information and credible independent evidence. We explain important drawbacks, compatibility limitations, regional availability and evidence maturity. Hands-on testing is identified only when it has genuinely taken place.

Read our Editorial Policy and Review Methodology for the complete process.

Hands-on testing and review samples

We are expanding our hands-on testing programme and welcome relevant review-sample and review-loan enquiries from manufacturers, distributors and PR teams. Supplying a product does not guarantee positive coverage or a recommendation, and relevant arrangements are disclosed to readers. See Media & Product Review Requests for our PR and review-sample policy.

Editorial independence

Commercial relationships do not buy rankings, scores or positive conclusions. Affiliate links and future advertising may support the website, but editorial conclusions are determined independently. See How We Make Money and our Affiliate Disclosure.
